Yesterday afternoon Justice Richard
son sat aud head the arguments OF
counsel relative 10 the license tax OF the
Allcghany Railroad Express Company,
alids the Baltimore and Ohio Express
Company.
The company were summoned before

failure 10 take out their license tax
amounting to 5000.
The company answers as follows !.
First, that there Is no such corporation
as the Baltimore and Ohio Express I ON
pany. ] his misnOmer in the declaration
was changed by consent Of counsel to
reach "The Baltimore and Ohio Com
psny," which is the name Of the express
company. The company admitted that
the Baltlmore aud ChIo Company Sere

After ibis charge in The style OF the
case. Justice Richardson heard the cas- e
ON It's merits. Major Stiles argued for
The Railroad Company, and Mr. Z. V.

The facts of the case as presented by
counsel are these: The Richmond and
Allegheny Railroad Company did an eI-
press business up TO May lsi, 1887, aud
under the statutes and by virtue of 8
former decision Of Justice Richardson
were exempt from taxation. The counsel
for The Baltimore and Ohio Company
claimed that 10y purchasing the express
business they also obtained the
right Of conducting the express busi-
ness and freedom from taxation.
On May lst The Richmond and Al
leghany Company sold out 10 the Bslli-
more and ohio railroad, on September
lst the Baltimore and Ohio sold their
express business to the United States
Express Company.
Major Stiles argued that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, by iis pur-
chase OF the franchise Of the Richmond
and Allegheny RAILROAD Express Com
Dany, secured It's immunity from taxs-
lion. And as 10 the right Of the CITY t.
impose a license tax for conducting al
express business. he said there was nc
law requiring IT,
Mr.. Meredith held that there was law
and constitutional right TO impose .
